How to Care for Your Custom Tumbler (and Make It Last!)

Your custom tumbler isn’t just a drinkware essential—it’s a piece of art! Whether it’s glitter, ombré, floral, or personalized with your name, taking proper care of your tumbler will keep it looking flawless for years. Follow these simple tumbler care tips to make sure your favorite cup stays in perfect condition!

1. Hand Wash Only – Keep It Looking Brand New

One of the most important tumbler care rules? Always hand wash your tumbler! The high heat and harsh detergents in dishwashers can fade colors, damage the seal, and ruin glitter or custom designs.

🚿 Best way to clean your tumbler:

• Use lukewarm water and a mild, non-abrasive soap.
• Gently scrub with a soft sponge or bottle brush to clean inside and out.
• Rinse thoroughly and air dry upside down to prevent water buildup.

2. Avoid Soaking – Protect the Seal & Design

Long soaks in water can weaken the epoxy seal and adhesive on custom decals. Instead of leaving your tumbler submerged, rinse and wash it immediately to avoid any peeling or fading.

3. Keep It Cool – Avoid Extreme Heat

While our double-walled, stainless steel tumblers are built to handle hot and cold drinks, extreme heat exposure can weaken the insulation.

🔥 What to avoid:

• Dishwashers & Microwaves – Never put your tumbler in either!
• Leaving it in a hot car – Prolonged exposure to high heat can affect the seal and finish.
• Boiling water – Stick to warm or hot drinks, but avoid boiling temperatures.

4. Say No to Harsh Chemicals & Scrubbers

Avoid using bleach, abrasive scrubbers, or harsh cleaning chemicals. These can scratch the surface and break down the tumbler’s protective coating. Stick to gentle soaps and soft cloths for the best results!

5. Store It Properly – Prevent Scratches & Damage

To keep your tumbler in the best condition:

• Store it in a dry area to avoid moisture buildup.
• Keep it separate from sharp objects (like keys in a bag) to prevent scratches.
• Use a protective sleeve if you carry it in a backpack or purse.

6. Bonus Tip: Keep the Lid & Straw Clean

Over time, tumbler lids and straws can collect bacteria, so regular deep cleaning is essential!

• Soak removable parts (like lids and straws) in warm, soapy water.
• Use a straw brush to clean inside reusable straws.
• Let everything air dry completely before reassembling.
